Where was Birdman tonight?

[No coincidences]

Must've missed it -- he's listed as DNP/CD. Why?

Same thing happened in Game 4. Spoelstra decided to stop playing him after Game 3.

Any explanation?

[yisman]

I never saw an explanation.

The announcers have not really mentioned it.

The Heat have gone smaller, so one of the big men was going to lose minutes.

Drug relapse no doubt

I think we will see a lot of Birdman in gm6. Miami chose to go small in gm's 4 and 5, leaving Birdman buried on the bench. To Spo's defense, Birdman is a much better player at home than on the road. I'd be shocked if he didn't play at least 15-20 minutes on Tuesday.

I think Miami may need to go back to the big lineup with Haslem starting and Birdman coming off the bench. Spurs are simply better at playing small ball than Miami.

Birdman will play more minutes than haslem in game 6, especially at home.. The home crowd loves him. And also well probably see shane over mike miller. he hasnt done anything as a starter, battier is needed for defense especially with manu starting now. I see this going to game 7.

doubt it.....Not a good match for Miami when Spurs go small. Expect Ginobili to be in the starting lineup meaning you will see a lot more of Battier.

Reports on rotoworld are that the Birdman will be let out of his cage tonight.
